KING RICHARD THE SECOND
SCENE I。 London。 The palace
Enter RICHARD�察 �JOHN OF GAUNT�察 �with other NOBLES and
attendants
KING RICHARD。 Old John of Gaunt�察 �time´honoured Lancaster�察�
Hast thou�察�according to thy oath and band�察�Brought hither Henry Hereford�察�
thy bold son�察�Here to make good the boist'rous late appeal�察�Which then our
leisure would not let us hear�察 �Against the Duke of Norfolk�察 �Thomas
Mowbray�拭 �GAUNT。 I have�察 �my liege。 KING RICHARD。 Tell me�察�
moreover�察�hast thou sounded him If he appeal the Duke on ancient malice�察�
Or worthily�察 �as a good subject should�察 �On some known ground of
treachery in him�拭�GAUNT。 As near as I could sift him on that argument�察�
On some apparent danger seen in him Aim'd at your Highness´no
inveterate malice。 KING RICHARD。 Then call them to our presence�此�face
to face And frowning brow to brow�察�ourselves will hear The accuser and
the accused freely speak。 High´stomach'd are they both and full of ire�察�In
rage�察�deaf as the sea�察�hasty as fire。
Enter BOLINGBROKE and MOWBRAY
BOLINGBROKE。 Many years of happy days befall My gracious
sovereign�察�my most loving liege� �MOWBRAY。 Each day still better other's
happiness Until the heavens�察�envying earth's good hap�察�Add an immortal
title to your crown� �KING RICHARD。 We thank you both�察 �yet one but
flatters us�察�As well appeareth by the cause you come�察�Namely�察�to appeal
each other of high treason。 Cousin of Hereford�察 �what dost thou object
Against the Duke of Norfolk�察�Thomas Mowbray�拭�BOLINGBROKE。 First´
heaven be the record to my speech� �In the devotion of a subject's love�察�
Tend'ring the precious safety of my prince�察 �And free from other
misbegotten hate�察 �Come I appellant to this princely presence。 Now�察�
Thomas Mowbray�察�do I turn to thee�察�And mark my greeting well�察�for what
I speak My body shall make good upon this earth�察 �Or my divine soul
answer it in heaven´ Thou art a traitor and a miscreant�察�Too good to be so�察�
and too bad to live�察�Since the more fair and crystal is the sky�察�The uglier
seem the clouds that in it fly。 Once more�察�the more to aggravate the note�察�
With a foul traitor's name stuff I thy throat�察 �And wish´so please my

sovereign´ere I move�察�What my tongue speaks�察�my right drawn sword may
prove。 MOWBRAY。 Let not my cold words here accuse my zeal。 'Tis not
the trial of a woman's war�察�The bitter clamour of two eager tongues�察�Can
arbitrate this cause betwixt us twain�察�The blood is hot that must be cool'd
for this。 Yet can I not of such tame patience boast As to be hush'd and
nought at an to say。 First�察 �the fair reverence of your Highness curbs me
From giving reins and spurs to my free speech�察 �Which else would post
until it had return'd These terms of treason doubled down his throat。
Setting aside his high blood's royalty�察�And let him be no kinsman to my
liege�察�I do defy him�察�and I spit at him�察�Call him a slanderous coward and a
villain�察�Which to maintain�察�I would allow him odds And meet him�察�were I
tied to run afoot Even to the frozen ridges of the Alps�察�Or any other ground
inhabitable Where ever Englishman durst set his foot。 Meantime let this
defend my loyalty´ By all my hopes�察 �most falsely doth he lie
BOLINGBROKE。 Pale trembling coward�察 �there I throw my gage�察�
Disclaiming here the kindred of the King�察�And lay aside my high blood's
royalty�察�Which fear�察�not reverence�察�makes thee to except。 If guilty dread
have left thee so much strength As to take up mine honour's pawn�察�then
stoop。 By that and all the rites of knighthood else Will I make good against
thee�察 �arm to arm�察 �What I have spoke or thou canst worst devise。
MOWBRAY。 I take it up�察�and by that sword I swear Which gently laid my
knighthood on my shoulder I'll answer thee in any fair degree Or
chivalrous design of knightly trial�察�And when I mount�察 �alive may I not
light If I be traitor or unjustly fight� �KING RICHARD。 What doth our
cousin lay to Mowbray's charge�拭 �It must be great that can inherit us So
much as of a thought of ill in him。 BOLINGBROKE。 Look what I speak�察�
my life shall prove it true´ That Mowbray hath receiv'd eight thousand
nobles In name of lendings for your Highness' soldiers�察�The which he hath
detain'd for lewd employments Like a false traitor and injurious villain。
Besides�察 �I say and will in battle prove´ Or here�察 �or elsewhere to the
furthest verge That ever was survey'd by English eye´ That all the treasons
for these eighteen years Complotted and contrived in this land Fetch from
false Mowbray their first head and spring。 Further I say�察�and further will
maintain Upon his bad life to make all this good�察 �That he did plot the

KING RICHARD THE SECOND
Duke of Gloucester's death�察�Suggest his soon´believing adversaries�察�And
consequently�察�like a traitor coward�察�Sluic'd out his innocent soul through
streams of blood�察�Which blood�察 �like sacrificing Abel's�察 �cries�察 �Even from
the tongueless caverns of the earth�察 �To me for justice and rough
chastisement�察�And�察�by the glorious worth of my descent�察�This arm shall do
it�察�or this life be spent。 KING RICHARD。 How high a pitch his resolution
soars� �Thomas of Norfolk�察 �what say'st thou to this�拭 �MOWBRAY。 O�察 �let
my sovereign turn away his face And bid his ears a little while be deaf�察�Till
I have told this slander of his blood How God and good men hate so foul a
liar。 KING RICHARD。 Mowbray�察�impartial are our eyes and cars。 Were he
my brother�察�nay�察�my kingdom's heir�察�As he is but my father's brother's son�察�
Now by my sceptre's awe I make a vow�察�Such neighbour nearness to our
sacred blood Should nothing privilege him nor partialize The unstooping
firmness of my upright soul。 He is our subject�察�Mowbray�察�so art thou�此�Free
speech and fearless I to thee allow。 MOWBRAY。 Then�察 �Bolingbroke�察 �as
low as to thy heart�察 �Through the false passage of thy throat�察 �thou liest。
Three parts of that receipt I had for Calais Disburs'd I duly to his
Highness' soldiers�察 �The other part reserv'd I by consent�察 �For that my
sovereign liege was in my debt Upon remainder of a dear account Since
last I went to France to fetch his queen�此�Now swallow down that lie。 For
Gloucester's death´ I slew him not�察�but to my own disgrace Neglected my
sworn duty in that case。 For you�察 �my noble Lord of Lancaster�察 �The
honourable father to my foe�察 �Once did I lay an ambush for your life�察�A
trespass that doth vex my grieved soul�察 �But ere I last receiv'd the
sacrament I did confess it�察�and exactly begg'd Your Grace's pardon�察�and I
hope I had it。 This is my fault。 As for the rest appeal'd�察�It issues from the
rancour of a villain�察 �A recreant and most degenerate traitor�察 �Which in
myself I boldly will defend�察 �And interchangeably hurl down my gage
Upon this overweening traitor's foot To prove myself a loyal gentleman
Even in the best blood chamber'd in his bosom。 In haste whereof�察 �most
heartily I pray Your Highness to assign our trial day。 KING RICHARD。
Wrath´kindled gentlemen�察�be rul'd by me�察�Let's purge this choler without
letting blood´ This we prescribe�察�though no physician�察�Deep malice makes
too deep incision。 Forget�察 �forgive�察 �conclude and be agreed�此 �Our doctors
